Top Pop 1894-O Half Eagle 1894-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. MS-63 (PCGS). A lovely half eagle with vivid orange-olive color and slightly reflective luster. Lightly abraded but overall exceptionally smooth for the issue. In attractive and solidly graded Choice Mint State, this is a conditionally rare coin that is worthy of serious bidder consideration. The 1894-O (just 16,600 pieces produced) is the penultimate New Orleans Mint half eagle and the last of the Liberty Head design type. The issue is much rarer in Mint State than is generally recognized in numismatic circles, the vast majority of the 400-600+ survivors that Doug Winter (2018) accounts for being in About Uncirculated. PCGS has yet to certify a finer example, confirming the significance of this Condition Census offering. PCGS Population: 4; 0 finer. PCGS# 8388. NGC ID: 25YF.
